Verdict

KNOCKNAGORAN LADY shaped as if still ahead of her mark at Roscommon last time and could be the answer in a fiendishly difficult handicap. Sneddy Eddie heads the dangers, along with last year's runner-up Schiehallion. Charlie's Dilemma and Astley are also potentially well treated.

    Verdict
    Fair winning handicapper (1m) at best on the Flat. Improved for the longer trip when off the mark over hurdles at Downpatrick (2¾m). Caught the eye with how he moved through the race on that occasion and there could be even more to come now tried over 3m.

    Low-mileage 6-y-o. Switched to a powerful owner prior to decisively making all in beginners chase at Tramore (2¾m). Wasn't seen to best effect reverted to patient tactics at Galway. Could make more impact than previously off lower hurdle mark.

    Verdict
    Strong-travelling mare. Shaped as if still ahead of her mark when bidding for a hat-trick at Roscommon last time, not enjoying the clearest of passages/hampered prior to finishing with running left. May well make a bold bid to resume winning ways in a change of headgear.

    Fallen a long way in the weights since his handicap debut and shaped as though back in form with creditable efforts at Limerick/Wexford. Showed his jumping problems haven't been completely ironed out when falling at the latter track earlier this month, however, he looks on a potentially handy mark.

    Verdict
    Maiden who placed in a bumper prior to offering little at long odds in maiden/novice hurdles. Did run to a fairly useful level first 2 starts over fences in the spring (well held latest). Switches to handicap hurdle/longer trip on return (tongue strap also added). On a potentially lenient mark.

    Borderline fairly useful stayer over fences in 2024/5. Shaped with a bit more encouragement than of late when 6½ lengths sixth of 16 on return to hurdling at Sligo (3¼m, soft) in June. Interesting if he can build on that 10 weeks on.
